Roundtable Discussion: St. Michael, His Feast, and Spiritual Warfare

Dive into the spirit of the Michaelmas with a roundtable discussion featuring St. Michael's own Fr. Ambrose Criste, along with special guests Fr. Chad Ripperger and Gabriel Castillo.
This trio of experts will discuss the importance of cultivating a devotion to St. Michael and the enduring significance of his feast to the culture of the Church. They'll also consider some practical advice on how to combat the devil and how to hold fast to hope even amidst the peculiar darkness of our age.
The conversation will be broadcast via livestream this Saturday, September 28 beginning at 3 PM (Pacific).
This spirited discussion is part of the Abbot's Circle's program for the Novena to St. Michael. Learn more at the links below:

Thank you all for this very helpful and inspiring presentation. I particularly am encouraged by the suggestions Fr.Ripperger offered for the use of consecrations to support our prayer life. I very much appreciate the light and hopeful tone, despite some very difficult topics, which was a beautiful sign of God’s loving, guiding presence through each of you, His very holy servants. Thank you for your witnesses and wisdom. May St. Michael ever bless and protect each of you, every viewer of this outstanding video and everyone at beloved St. Michael’s Abbey.

St. Micheal prayer first I heard from my grandfather. I born in Bangladesh. I can still remember my parents were went in city for some reason so my grandfather came to stay with me and my brother. So every evening we did rosary . The first time when he said this prayer I loved ii and I wrote down .Because we only learned the guardian angel prayer in our catechism. Then it’s passed so many years my grandfather and my dad passed away. Few years back I felt to come back to the home. I was lost and now found my way. I do dally rosary and this St. Micheal pray. Also my mom learned from me and she gave this prayer my aunt (she is a member of rosary prayer group) . Now the group also pray this prayer after the rosary. So this is my story.

[@georgevalenzuela2489]

I can attest to the Saint Michael stones, I was at a mass with an exorcist and a man entered into a trans (the demons manifested). The white of his eyes turned red and he was supernaturally strong, five grown men could not pick him up and move him out of the church, he must of been 5’7”, 150 lbs but it seemed like he weighed a ton. I had my Saint Michael relic and placed it on his lower back and moved it up to his upper back; every time I did this he went through the motions of vomiting(the demons were leaving). I did this motion 3 times and he was completely liberated, blessed be God and Saint Michael that liberated this young man. And I also have a devotion to Saint Michael, make sure you do that; if not, the stone will be nothing more than an amulet. Please do not treat it as an amulet or “good luck charm”.

[@kaitlynnzeller3131]

I struggled with anorexia my teenage tears then bulimia 18-23. What helped me stop is i took plunge by telling people close to me, first someone who I felt secure with. Bulimia is about secrecy and a desire for control in one's life and for perfection. I made myself do things that were uncomfortable for me, and do things of great passion in my heart, like hobbies and strengths. I started taking classes in education and did writing and creative clubs. I started a job in Healthcare in a behavioral and medical group home. Thrusting myself into a place where I was focused on caring for others and my mind focused on my passions intellectually and desires socially, it took the focus off a distorted view of self-centeredness. I also did a 33 day consecration. I followed the Total consecration to Jesus through Mary by st. Louis de montfort. It gave me inner peace, it broke down walls I built up around my heart, it then softened my hardened heart, and I began truly feeling the love of God through our blessed mother. Of course I struggled and fell throughout, but I got back up and continued praying, reaching out, trying to fight but not by myself. It took a couple years to be freed, and I also do on and off therapy throughout my life. Seek God through the sacraments and prayer and through the desires and passions he put in your heart act on the good he created you for. I'm rooting for you and praying for you, surrender this and all struggle to God and he will act and do what seems impossible. May god bless you, keep you and hold you always 🙏

[@InTheServiceOfTheQueen]

I prayed this novena to St Michael, have had a devotion to him and Mary for years since my conversion, and had miracles and answers on day 9. And I've also had much spiritual attack, both emotional and physical, since starting my KZbin channel, IN SERVICE OF THE QUEEN... but also much favor and grace. Seven Sorrows for me and just talking to Jesus, Mary and the angels from the heart, and LISTENING. Prayer and devotions are crucial for peace and safety.

But as time has passed I have started to feel like this is just piling up words and I'm not any better off spiritually for spending all this time. I had decided to not worry about it and just be faithful and carry on, but this conversation really strengthened my resolve to stick to it. It's God who gives graces, I can't earn them. If he wants my interior world to develop then it will.

Heavenly Father, I come before Your throne of grace on behalf of Christal Aswarya and Kayvinroy. Lord, I declare that every demonic force, every curse, every act of witchcraft or sorcery that has been assigned to harm them, shall be utterly destroyed in Jesus' name. I stand against every plot of the enemy, every wicked spirit that seeks to steal, kill, and destroy their lives. By the authority of Jesus Christ, I break every chain of bondage, every evil influence, and every satanic attachment that has been placed upon them. Father, Your Word in the book of Isaiah 54:17, declares that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. I decree and declare that every evil weapon, every evil intention, and every spirit of darkness is nullified right now by the power of the blood of Jesus. I speak life, protection, and divine restoration over Christal Aswarya and Kayvinroy. I command the angels of the Lord to surround them, to protect them, and to guide them safely back to their mother, Cynthia Pereira. Father, I declare that Christal Aswarya and Kayvinroy shall be delivered from every demonic grip. I pray for the Holy Spirit to fill them, to empower them, and to strengthen their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Father, I ask that You release Your divine peace and healing upon their lives. May every area of their lives that has been damaged by the enemy be restored to perfect wholeness. Lord, I lift up Gunaseeilan before You as well. I pray that You would intervene in his life, break the chains of darkness that bind him, and bring him to a place of repentance and salvation in Jesus Christ. Father, I thank You for Your mighty hand of deliverance. I declare that Christal Aswarya, Kayvinroy, and their entire family are covered by the blood of Jesus and that they shall experience freedom, healing, and divine restoration in every aspect of their lives, in Jesus' powerful name, I pray. With love and prayers, Pastor Daniel.

It saddens me that three highly intelligent men who confess their love for Christ and His Church are refusing to go to Calvary when it comes to calling out the truth of the anti-pope usurper in Rome. I understand their fear of the persecution that would follow if they publicly spoke the hard truth i.e. that Pope Benedict did not resign validly, that the conclave was thus false, that Jorge Bergolio is a heretic in need of confrontation for HIS soul and the protection of the Bride of Christ. It's easier to call his heresies "ambiguity" when in truth they are heresies and the majority of Trad Catholics already see and accept that per their Sensus Fidelium. If an illiterate, non-lettered lay woman (St. Catherine of Siena) can see the truth of an anti-Pope crisis in the Church and lead others including the Cardinals to fight to restore sanity, then these Catholic leaders can do the same. My prayer is that they be given the fortitude, wisdom, courage and love for Holy Mother Church to lay down on that Cross and have their hands and feet nailed. Brutal? Yes. But in our time, the ONLY way to glory....the ONLY way to love Our Lord in the highest of ways: martyrdom for the faith. I pray for Jorge Bergolio, for the hierarchy, for all men and women of good will to pick up that heavy Cross and trust in the greatness being presented to them:+) God bless~
